He is a very stable genius, the media will report all weekend on a stupid fucking tweet while things like Taxes and NN are fixed. See, even you are too stupid to see it lol

oof

republicans are stepping down and choosing to not run for re-election, from national to state level, meanwhile trump can't even host his own made-up "fake news awards" on time and has to delay it, while also having a "please clap" moment in front of a bunch of farmers, while stephen miller is laughed off CNN and then has to be physically escorted out due to extreme butthurt

i just want you to know right now, in the future when ur all "i didnt actually like trump, i was just trollin muh libs" you know i'm going to chuckle because you genuinely think that, like, this brainworm-riddled coke goblin is "fixing taxes"

idk i just want one semi-aware person who knows the ins and outs of journalism or politics to openly advocate for donald trump. the only people i see worshipping him are people who literally have no idea how the fuck shit in this country works. (excluding the wonks and pundits who have to continue supporting him because they're in too deep now)

You are right about the fact that the youth are headed towards more conservative groups, and that is because that is how life is, the counter culture now is freedom of speech. Not being forced to to be careful with everything you say, and its fantastic. PCism needs to die and it is essentially headed that way right now. And then you have people who are actually retarded like Jessup pretending to be having conversations with people who are much more intelligent than he is. Can you imagine being on the fence and reading my comment before his?

Then I'd say it's more of a movement toward libertarian (small l) thought, rather than conservativism. For example, few in the alt-right seem to be deeply religious. Religion is the primary storehouse of conservative values in almost every country, and has been for as long as there have been countries. Also, while Western libertarian conservatives vehemently defend free speech, being polite and respectful toward others is, generally speaking, one of their core values, as again, Christianity (or in some cases Judaism) is primarily what they're trying to conserve. There are very few secular conservatives.

I don't buy that the alt-right is attempting to conserve much. They seem more akin to the Obamabots, looking for Change/new values via a sort of father figure. Maybe you could help clear up what you mean by this.

Your post was pretty loaded with the FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT meme that's blasting through the commercially-owned media, who have a vested interest in making and keeping you angry. Keeping the so-called left and right fighting one another is what gets them paid. (In reality there are very few significant differences between the left and right in the US, at least as far as those terms are applied in the mainstream.) Don't drink that koolaid: it will lead to an enlarged amygdala, which will contribute to panic attacks, a sense of paranoia, belligerence, a feeling that you are at this very moment about to die, sudden bouts of anger, etc. To reduce its size, it will require active effort, much like losing weight. Meditation can help.

But -- wanted to chime in to respond to the quote. That's something I've observed, too. I wouldn't say the desires are exactly secret, though, and I'm not sure I'd say it's "a very large percentage," but it's significant enough that it does make it kind of amusing.

Jerome is doubling down on his own stupidity, I guess you have quite literally run out of anything interesting to say. And yes I would say you would be right Qan, more libertarian than conservative, although there is a large overlap in Trump voter with those two groups.

Jessup, about how many years ago would you say you joined NAMBLA? Do they still accept you now that youre a bit... different?

I really want to know if he is on a high soy diet, that would explain his mental problems because the Phytoestrogens are making his hormones unbalanced. He could be mentally stable again if he changes his diet I bet, although he will never be a genius I am afraid.

Qan I love you but saying that their are very few differences between the left and the right in the usa is ridiculous. Sure we eat, breath and poo the same but that is about where the similarities ends. The very core belief systems are different amongst them with far reaching implications in society and the world as a result of these personal stances.

less specifically but still relevant is of course the "boy who cried wolf" effect, for 20 years conservatives have been saying that universal healthcare and fire departments are 0% different than like, cold-war era soviet russia. young people haven't been raised to shit themselves whenever someone says the word "stalin" and so trying to scare them with the same tired old arguments is not only losing its effect but perhaps even backfiring

nah, qan is pretty spot-on

check out "the overton window"

the democratic party is basically republicans who also think that gay & trans people should be allowed to do things like bomb foreigners & become unaccountable billionaires

basically the political process for quite some time has been a cycle where republicans say something insane, and democrats shift ever-so-slightly right in the form of "compromise", and through the constant "compromising" and weakness, have lost alot of qualities that initially set them apart

Well, to put it a better way, there's little meaningful difference in terms of who they choose to elect. And there are many people who vote for Democrat candidates/are registered as members of the US Democrat Party -- a fairly far-right party, by anyone's reckoning -- and yet inexplicably identify as leftists. They might claim the "lesser of two evils" defense. But the idea of voting for one candidate to prevent the other's election is a cancer on the republic, every year further driving down the standards. I've even heard that some people who consider themselves leftists voted for Clinton as a vote against Trump, when Clinton's not just slightly but significantly further right than Trump is! Bizarre stuff.

There are differences between the left and right in some respects, but mostly belonging to the left or right in the US means supporting status quo economic and foreign policies, and then advocating for a set of liberties that have been determined to be acceptable to your particular group, i.e., identity politics.

Whether or not the ever-popular and profitable "kill brown people for ca$h and then rebuild for exorbitant amounts while ironically shorting domestic infrastructure" Program(tm) should remain in effect, for example, is not something that is debated, or, indeed, that most people are even aware of. Near-unanimous passage of the 2018 defense budget, raising it another $60,000,000,000, ensures this healthiest portion of the US economy will continue its work "protecting" citizens from the War on Scariness. (Oh, and for the 2 people who don't already know, Terrorism Spoiler alert: the US runs ISIS. A constant state of unending, low-level war is an absolute economic necessity, and the best way to ensure it continues is to be on both sides of it, like Catch-22's Milo Minderbinder. Hey, Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. Or itself. Who cares?)

In short, anything that's actually important is not up for discussion, and you're left free to divide into opposing camps based on whether hate speech should be a crime, if transgendered folks can use the bathroom of the gender they identify with, if abortion should be legalized or guns allowed to be owned by private citizens. Not that those issues are without meaning, but they pale in comparison to the bigger picture. The for-profit media will work us up over relatively minor points unlikely to change, no matter how many enraged social media posts we slaves make, and at the end of the day we are left with a feeling of having done something meaningful, when in reality we've just exhausted ourselves in petty squabbles precisely so that we will be unable to do anything of any meaning or consequence.

Man, that furious Jerome multiposting was terrible, as the sea captain would say "argh not a looker in the bunch" you know. Also, Jessup was ruined by eating too much soy, someone tell him he should sue big soy.

its kind of crazy honestly, like i have a thought in the afternoon and then because my thinking is reality-based, as i go through the day articles and papers are published that either add weight to something i've been pondering, or like yesterday, flesh out something i'm actively thinking about. so yeah i post multiple times in a row and i guess my intimidating style might be interpreted by the meek as "furious"

like today i realized now it's 2018, meaning that in about a year we're going to see the first wave of people turning 18 who were born after 9/11. some of these 18-year olds will join the army. some will wind up in afghanistan. some will die. in the name of a war they weren't even around to see starting. these people will look at the president who started it as well as trump, who due to his mean-girls-esque tweeting has been upgraded from brain-lesioned cheetoh goblin to a full-on messy bitch who dont need no man. i dont think young folks are going to look around at a country shaped by two decades of republican shitposting and come away thinking conservatism is a good thing

this thread is a gr8 place where i can 1) ruminate on these subjects 2) watch you slowly smolder & bide my time until you inevitably slip and call jessup a ******
